Home Alphabetical Taxonomic Comments










 

These images of common swifts were taken in Denmark in February 2009, courtesy of Dr. Louis A. Hansen who noted: the adults are almost uniformly dark except for the light throat. Younger birds apparently have a more contrasting throat pattern (resembling the pallid swift).
